And apparently its Hogwarts Happenings now? Well, that worked too actually.

"Right" She said with a serious nod. That's how people in the news usually acted. All serious and grim, right? "Thank you for that run down for this afternoon's news, Ashley." She said with a smile.

"The Ghost in The Halls." She announced imperiously "That's what students are calling this mysterious ghost that has terrorized countless of Hogwarts students in the past few days, including our very own Ms. Ashley Fox - looking for his treasure." She reported. She doesn't actually know if it had been terrorizing countless of students - but hey, news reports are almost always sensationalized anyway! Just ask the Daily Prophet! "Do officials and teachers have a lead on this mysterious treasure that its looking for?" She asked her co-anchor, still faithfully playing the role of a news broadcaster.

Ashley did not know that people were calling it the ghost in the halls, and she hadn't seen the ghost after it has ran through her, but it didn't matter. She picked up the line. "If they do Serena, then they haven't told me about it. I certainly hope that they do though. These attacks on Hogwarts are becoming too much to bear. And for some reason, I am always around when the devastation occurs, so I've certainly seen the effects of the ghost myself! Pretty sure everyone has. I hope we will recover the treasure as soon as possible, in order to prevent all future attacks and ensure the safety of the students. That is just about it, Serena, any closing remarks?" There wasn't much to say. They had some suspicious cash, and spent it on tacky decor, and now they all had to pay. Ashley-unsurprisingly- blamed the headmaster, but she wasn't sure if she was allowed to say that live. It was his fault. He had ignored the signs, and everyone else had to suffer for it. Just like they always did.
